※ 引述《eMule (低調)》之銘言： : 外電來源 http://tinyurl.com/2zvlan : First of all, congratulations to the Boston Red Sox and their fans on their : second World Series title in four years. They were the best team during the : regular season, and were clearly the best team in these playoffs. 首先，為紅襪及襪迷四年內的第二個世界大賽冠軍恭喜。他們是例行賽表現最好的球隊，季後賽也毫無疑問是最優秀的。 : People can blame the eight-day layoff all they want, the Colorado Rockies were : nowhere near the class of the Boston Red Sox were, and it showed. 洛磯隊想要的話可以把責任推給連八天休假，但很明顯，他們和紅襪隊等級不一樣。 : And unless you are a card-carrying member of Red Sox Nation, I have some bad : news for you. The Red Sox are not going anywhere anytime soon. In fact, they : may even be better next year than they were this year. 然後，除非你是個死忠紅襪迷，我有些壞消息要告訴你：紅襪盛世還沒結束。事實上，他們明年可能還會更強。 : But unfortunately, for fans of not only the Red Sox but baseball in general, : Boston's win was upstaged by the announcement midway through last night's : clinching win that Alex Rodriguez has decided to opt out of his contract with : the New York Yankees and become a free agent. 不幸的，對紅襪迷及棒球界來說，紅襪昨晚的勝利在球賽打到一半時就被另外一則消息搶了鋒頭：A-Rod決定放棄洋基合約，投入自由市場。 : How insecure is Rodriguez? Is he that starved for attention that he had to make : this announcement when it became clear that the World Series was over? It's : really a despicable move. Why should anyone expect anything less from him at : this point, though? A-Rod有沒有這麼沒安全感？在世界大賽大局已定時宣布這則消息，他有沒有需要各界關注到這種程度？這舉動真的令人瞧不起。不過，有人認為他不會這麼做嗎？ : So instead of Tim McCarver and Joe Buck praising a Red Sox team that has now : won eight straight World Series games, they were forced to talk about A-Rod, : who obviously thinks he is bigger than the game at this point. 於是Tim McCarver和Joe Buck不是在稱讚連贏八場比賽的紅襪隊，而是被迫要討論自認為比棒球大局還重要A-Rod。 : Even the sport's most honored and recognized team had enough respect to hold : off on announcing their new manager until after the Fall Classic is over. 就算是棒球界最受尊敬和認同的球隊也展現足夠的尊重，到季後賽結束才宣布新總教練。 : And I don't want to hear people blaming Rodriguez's agent Scott Boras for this : either. Sure he is a creep, and I am positive he was the orchestrator of it : all, but A-Rod is 32 years old. He is old enough to make his own decisions, : but he continues to be Knucklehead Smiff to Boras' Paul Winchell. 我也不想聽到大家怪他的經紀人Scott Boras。沒錯，他真的很機，應該也是幕後主導這一切的黑手，但A-Rod已經32歲了，可以自己做自己的決定，但他仍然當Boras的小木偶。 : Now where does he go? The Yankees have said from the beginning they will not : pursue him if he leaves. There are only a handful of teams that can sign him. : Boston is going to have an opening at third base, as World Series MVP Mike : Lowell can become a free agent. Could the Red Sox re-sign Lowell and bring : Rodriguez in to play short? That is possible, considering Julio Lugo proved : to be a bust at short this year. But do they really want to tinker with a good : thing by bringing him in? 那他現在要去哪呢？洋基隊從一開始就說好不會到自由球員市場去追他。有能力簽他的球隊也沒幾個。紅襪隊三壘也許會有空位，如果世界大賽的MVP Lowell決定當自由球員的話。紅襪會不會再簽一次Lowell然後把A-Rod找來當游擊手？不是不可能，尤其看在Lugo今年在游擊的表現。但他們真的想要在已經很好的球隊上動手腳嗎？ : Most people seem to agree Rodriguez will land out on the West Coast somewhere. : I thought all along he would go to the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim. But : someone mentioned the Los Angeles Dodgers to me last week. I could see that. : The bright lights of LA are certainly attractive to Team A- Rod, but will the : Dodgers deal with Boras after he spurned them last winter with J.D. Drew? 大部分人的都同意A-Rod會跑到西岸去的這個看法。我一直認為他會去天使隊，但上禮拜有人跟我提到道奇。這也能想像，畢竟LA的燈光和目光對A-Rod單人球隊來講應該很吸引人。但道奇隊去年冬天被表了JD Drew後，還會想和Boras交易嗎？ : No matter where he lands, Rodriguez is about to play for his third team in six : seasons. How is that even possible? He is the best player I have ever seen and : probably ever will. And chances are he will move again at some point in his : career. 不管他去哪，A-Rod即將為六個球季內第三個球隊效勞。怎麼會這樣？他已經是我看過最優秀的球員，大概一直都會是。而在他未來的球員生涯，大概還會再繼續輾轉不同球隊。 : Sadly for A-Rod, his Hall of Fame plaque is going to mention his record-setting : contracts along with his unbelievable numbers. The one thing that could be : missing, though, is any mention of World Series championships. 可憐的是，對A-Rod而言，名人堂裡不只會記錄著那些不可思議的數據，還會記錄這些破紀錄的合約金額。但唯一可能會缺的，就是世界大賽冠軍相關內容。 : As a baseball fan this all makes me sick. Do yourself a favor and listen to : Peter Gammons' comments after last night's game, as he was forced to talk about : the Rodriguez situation. You can hear the disdain for Rodriguez and Boras in : his voice. 身為一個棒球迷，這一切都讓我作嘔。去聽聽昨天晚上賽後Peter Gammons被迫要談A-Rod 的那些評論。你可以從他語氣當中感覺到對於A-Rod和Boras的不屑。 : Nobody argues that Rodriguez is anything other than great, but he really rubbed : people the wrong way with this charade. Not to mention the fact that he comes : off as such a phony. All along he reiterated the fact that New York is where : he wanted to be. Yet he didn't even give the Yankees the courtesy of hearing : any offer they may have made, and opted out literally the second he had the : chance. 沒有人否認A-Rod很傑出優秀，但他這樣個行事真的令人感到不適。他一再重申NY是他想待的地方，但他卻連讓洋基提出請求的機會都不給，而且一旦有了機會就趕緊跳脫。 : I hope the Yankees stick to their guns and get out of the bidding entirely. : Sad thing is someone is going to ante up for Rodriguez. And it will probably be : a team you least expect, like the Texas Rangers were back in 2001. But, as : Gammons said last night it is "Buyer Beware" with him. There is a reason he has : never played in a World Series. And believe this - unlike the way teams had : been lining up for his services in a trade, they will now be far less likely to : take him off the hands of whatever club next wins his services three years down : the road. 我希望洋基真的說到做到，完全不要去標A-Rod。可悲的是，有人去去買這個單，而且大概會是出乎意料之外的球隊，像是2001年的游擊兵。不過如同Gammons昨天晚上說的，A-Rod 現在貼著一張＂買者小心＂的標籤。這就是為什麼他從來沒有打過世界大賽。相信我：現在不會再像以前要交易時，各球隊搶著要他來效勞。他們已經大不會想三年後來接手下一個得標的球隊。 : Enough about him, though, I am pretty sure we are going to talk about him well : into the New Year. Today is the day to celebrate the Red Sox. A-Rod講夠了，但我想他的話題大概可以講到新年。今天要慶祝的是紅襪的勝利。 : I grew up rooting for the New York Yankees and still do. But even I was happy : to see the Red Sox win last night. Like the Yankees teams of the mid-90's, this : Boston group is a tough team to root against. Unless of course it is Curt : Schilling, who is every bit as phony as A-Rod. But that is neither here nor : there. 我從小就支持洋基，現在也是。但昨天連我都很高興看到紅襪贏球。像90年代中期的洋基，紅襪很難令人不支持。當然除了Schilling之外，他和A-Rod一樣虛偽。不過這和我們要講的不相干。 : Terry Francona reminds me a little bit of Joe Torre. He obviously brings more : to the table than just the x's and o's. He knows how to deal with these : megastars. Let's face it, these days the Red Sox locker room is not all that : much different the Yankees. Francona給我感覺有點像Torre，他不只是做基本的決策，他還知道怎麼掌管這些超級巨星。說穿了，紅襪隊現在的球員休息室和洋基的沒什麼兩樣。 : And as I said earlier, this Red Sox team is not going anywhere. Dustin Pedroia : is going to be the AL Rookie of the Year and a couple of his native Japanese : teammates are going to be right behind him in the voting. Jacoby Ellsbury could : be the Rookie of the Year next season, and if he isn't the odds-on favorite to : win the award, then right-hander Clay Buchholz probably will be. （純紅襪，略） : Jon Lester is a stud and will probably take the rotation spot left by : Schilling, who will no doubt bolt. （純紅襪，略） : You mix those youngsters in with the likes of Josh Beckett, Manny Ramirez, : David Ortiz, Kevin Youkilis and even J.D. Drew, and you may have a bona fide : dynasty on your hands. （純紅襪，略） : Speaking of Lester, how can you not get into that story? Here he was last year : at this time with not only his baseball future in doubt but his life as well, : after being diagnosed with cancer. A year later, he is the winning pitcher in : Boston's sweeping World Series win. 說到Lester的故事，你怎麼能不著迷。去年這個時候，他不只球員生涯有疑慮，他生命也因為被驗出罹患癌症而有問號。一年後，他卻是紅襪世界大賽直落四的勝利投手。 : That is what we should be reading about today. But instead, the focus of the : baseball world is on the biggest phony in all of sports - Alex Rodriguez. 這才是我們今天應該要看的報導。但棒球界的焦點卻放在體育界最大的虛偽鬼身上－ A-Rod。 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 122.126.54.151 ※ 編輯: jonw0115 來自: 122.126.54.151 (10/30 03:53)
